Is it possible to link more than one child node to a Standard Parent WHM server?

Question

Is it possible to link more than one child node to a Standard WHM server?

Answer

Yes, you may link multilple child nodes to a parent Standard WHM server. For example:

WHM Parent
/\_____________________ Child-Mail-Node

/\_____________________ Child-DNS-Node

/\_____________________ Child-Database-Node

You may also link multiple child nodes that handle the same functionality ( mail / dns / database) to a parent Standard WHM server. For Example:

WHM Parent
/\_____________________ Child-Mail-Node-#1

/\_____________________ Child-Mail-Node-#2

/\_____________________ Child-DNS-Node-#1

/\_____________________ Child-DNS-Node-#2

/\_____________________ Child-Database-Node-#1

/\_____________________ Child-Database-Node-#2

However, it is critical to note that two nodes that handle the same functionality cannot be assigned to the same cPanel account on the parent WHM server.

The following example where both Child-Mail-Node-#1 and Child-Mail-Node-#2 are both assigned to cpaneluser1 which  is NOT supported:

-----------------------------------------------
| WHM Parent                                  |
| cpaneluser1  |  cpaneluser2  |  cpaneluser3 |
-----------------------------------------------
____/\_______________/\______________________________ Child-Mail-Node-#1
____/\_____________________________________________ Child-Mail-Node-#1

The following example where each mail node is assigned to a unique set of users. This setup IS supported:

----------------------------------------------
| WHM Parent                                 |
| cpaneluser1 | cpaneluser2 |   cpaneluser3  |
----------------------------------------------
____/\____________/\____________________________ Child-Mail-Node-#1
_________________________________/\_____________ Child-Mail-Node-#2
